Surprising Statistics About the Uninsured

Of course that accident wasn’t our fault- we were paying attention to the road, and not texting or talking on the phone like the guy next to us… right? We were being proactive, keeping up with insurance payments, and just being an attentive driver. If we’re insured and not at fault, there’s a 14% chance that the person who got into an accident with you doesn’t have car insurance.
Pretty scary right?
Depending on where you are in the US, you should be cautious about the amount of uninsured people on the roads around you.
If you consider the amount of people actually driving the streets of the US, that’s a pretty mind-boggling statistic. It reminds us of the fact that no matter how careful we try to be, there are others on the road that don’t think about liability insurance and put themselves and others at risk- uninsured drivers are more prominent on the west coast. Perhaps Arnold Schwarzenegger should flex his guns and threaten the population about insurance.
So before you try to drive while simultaneously sipping your latte, texting your girlfriend/boyfriend and eating your hamburger, consider others on the road and make sure you’re insured. Depending on where you’re located, you can avoid $500 fines, suspension and license revocation- it won’t hurt to look into your state’s regulations for liability insurance.
